West’s ‘alternate universe’
president was clemency of Larry Hoover, a founder of a murderous Chicago street gang who is serving six life sentences in a maximum security federal prison. He has been convicted on homicide and drug charges, but Mr. West assured the president that Mr. Hoover is incarcerated “for basically an economic crime.”
The president has a strange mutual admiration society, starting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un (“We fell in love. He wrote me beautiful letters,” the president says in his stump speech.) and including Mr. West and his wife, Kim Kardasian West.
Since he eschews more establishment black opinion leaders, I have some suggestions if he wants popular, but sensible, black advisers. He might try a Luvvie Ajayi, who pens the popular Awesomely Luvvie blog, or he might consult with any of the Very Smart Brothas.
But that makes too much sense. That’s probably why the president prefers the “alternate universe” of Kanye West.
